Domestic Competition Pushes Chinese EV Firms to Expand Internationally

With dozens of brands selling battery electric and plug-in hybrid cars in China, competition in the world’s largest electric vehicle market has grown incredibly fierce. Although China’s vehicle market is incredibly vast, there just isn’t enough room for the more than 100 electric vehicle companies that are currently fighting to gain a foothold. As a result, many Chinese electric vehicle companies are looking beyond the country to foreign markets that still have untapped electric vehicle demand. These companies have one major advantage compared to other automakers: their EVs are cheap and affordable. While the average electric car is much more…

Chinese Firm BYD to Commence Vehicle Assembly in Brazil

Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD is set to begin assembling battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in Brazil this year. The Shenzhen, China-based automaker first entered the Brazilian market in 2021 and sold more than 100,000 electric cars before the Brazilian government reintroduced import tariffs on BEVs, hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). With their introduction, BYD risked losing access to its largest foreign market as the import duties would make it increasingly harder for the automaker to sell its affordable electric cars at low prices in Brazil. To avoid paying import tariffs on its electric cars, BYD…

China Dominates in Adopting Long-Haul Electric Trucks

China's dominance of the global passenger electric vehicle market is also extending to long-haul electric trucks. In addition to being the largest producer and market for passenger battery electric vehicles (BEVs), China has surpassed both the U.S. and Europe in the adoption of electric trucks. With the Trump administration recently cutting federal electric vehicle subsidies and halting the deployment of public chargers using federal funds, the U.S. risks being left far behind Beijing. In nearly two decades since the first mass market BEV hit the market, passenger EVs have become the default form factor for electric mobility. Most automakers have…

Recently Enacted US Budget Act Ends Tax Incentives for EV Buyers

President Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Bill will put a definitive end to federal tax incentives for electric vehicle buyers. In its quest to undo most of the Biden administration's climate action-related policies, the Trump administration initially laid out a timeline for phasing out EV tax credits through 2025. However, the recently passed Big Beautiful Bill will effectively end the federal EV incentive on September 30th. According to the huge tax and spending cut measure, American drivers interested in purchasing an electric car will have three more months to subsidize the EV purchase using the $7,500 tax incentive. In a market…

Chinese EV Maker Xiaomi Presells 300,000 EVs in 60 Minutes

Xiaomi, the Chinese tech giant that recently made its foray into manufacturing battery electric vehicles (BEVs), received nearly 300,000 pre-orders just an hour after launching a new EV. Dubbed the YU7, Xiaomi’s 5-seater electric car is its second mass-market electric car and will cost $54,000 (253,500 yuan), almost 4% cheaper than the best-selling Tesla Model Y. At this price range, the Model Y will be one of the YU7’s main competitors in China. According to the Beijing, China-based company, the fact that its first electric SUV had 280,000 pre-orders within one hour of launch is a miraculous achievement in the…

US Senate Considers Scrapping EV Incentives Earlier Than Previously Planned

The U.S. Senate is thinking of scrapping federal electric vehicle incentives much earlier than the Trump administration had originally planned. First put in place by the Biden administration, these federal EV incentives have been critical to boosting electric vehicle sales in the country. Similar incentives have also been key to boosting electric vehicle adoption in other major markets like China and the European Union. Like most of the climate action-related policies instituted by the previous administration, federal EV incentives were targeted by the current right-wing administration and were first included in a measure that would have steadily reduced the incentives…

BloombergNEF Foresees the Worldwide EV Market Growing by 25% This Year

BloombergNEF has predicted that the global market for electric vehicles (EVs) will grow by 25% in 2025 but forecasts slower short- and long-term growth in the American market. The market research provider recently published its EV sales forecast for the year and revealed relatively optimistic projections for electric vehicle sales.

GM’s Electric Vehicle Sales Could Surpass Tesla’s in the US

General Motors could soon achieve a feat that has eluded American automakers for well over a decade: surpassing Tesla’s electric vehicle sales. Tesla pioneered mass battery electric vehicle (BEV) production and has remained the top BEV producer on the globe for over a decade, beating established automakers that had been around for decades. However, a confluence of factors that have significantly damaged Tesla’s branding and impacted its sales may allow carmakers like Ford to catch up to and even surpass the Texas-based electric vehicle firm. Recent research has revealed that Tesla is rapidly losing its position as the undisputed leader…

BYD Ships Thousands of Electric Vehicles to Brazil Ahead of Tariff Implementation

Chinese vehicle giant BYD is shipping thousands of electric vehicles (EVs) to Brazil ahead of a progressive tariff program that will make importing EVs to the South American country increasingly costly. As China was locked out of the lucrative European and American auto markets via import tariffs, Chinese carmakers began looking for alternative markets to sell their affordable electric cars. As the largest economy in South America, Brazil was a natural target for automakers like BYD that were seeking opportunities for growth. Unfortunately for BYD and other Chinese automakers, their efforts drew the attention of Brazil’s powerful carmakers’ lobby, which…
